Solitude by Bob Kull


Ever wonder what it would be like to go solo for a year?  Bob did it and wrote a book about it.  100 miles out into the Chilean archipelago of Patagonia.

1st quarterof book is pretty much straight forward journaling in trip report style.  Good writing and I followed him along on maps.  Middle half of book gets deeper as he delves into self-examination of life and who he is.  whole book is in a daily journal-entry type style and an easy read.  If you've ever thought how a year alone might impact you...give it a read.

An interesting sidebar...his whole project was linked to him talking a Canadian university into approving this expidition for a doctoral thesis in a study of himself and how Solitude affected him....here's a link to his web page....under the "Solitude Project" link, you can find some maps and pics under the "slideshow".

Me, I'm sick of myself after 6 days alone.
